To increase the flexibility of email content design, Marketing Cloud allows you to upload an HTML source code utilizing the HTML Code Editor. This feature eliminates the need to enter a source code manually, thus saving a significant amount of time.
Once you upload an HTML file, you can make further edits in the editor. Also, you can use the tags available within content builders to include personalized information and real-time data in the content.
Note: When you upload an HTML file rather than copying the source code, you maintain a responsive template.
